We are delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit the work of 15 artists from Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre from the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

In the culture of the Worora, Ngarinyin, and Wunumbul people, the Wandjina is the supreme creator. Within Australian Indigenous culture this view is unique to these three groups. Since the 1970s artists from Mowanjum have been producing significant works of art based around these Wandjina dreaming stories. This is a rare opportunity for the people of Sydney to view the work of these celebrated artists.
